Due to me not cleaning and lubing my chain often (done it about 2-3 times a year) i got to have a new one along with front and back spokes. Ive only done 8500 miles on the bike a chain thats looked after should have about 20,000 in it.
Also this morning i checked my tyres after finding the steering a little hard.
My front tyre should be 36dpi and it was....7dpi:rolleyes:
Im lucky i didnt have an accident, and stupid for not doing checks that should take less that 10 mins.
So after this i WILL do my checks a lot more regulary (every other saturday) and hopefully wont have to payout for new parts.
 
Yeah i mean front and rear sprockets. Well yeah i feel pretty silly, but ive learned from it and ill be looking after my bike properly now.
Edit: Turning feels awesome now, just so responsive its like i got a different bike.
